Default ***Info on B-series in a rhd EF8/9***

So I figured I'd follow up on what I had discovered on what mounts to use to put a
b-series motor in a genuine rhd EF Civic or Crx Sir. I ran into this problem when I tried to put a gsr into my Cvic Sir. the mounts are completely different than their US counterpart and the only alternate from what i had been told by Hasport and many other companies/people is that you can only run the oem mounts out of an EF8/9 from Japan nothing else is compatible. then i posted up and a few people on here suggested i use 90-93 Integra mounts and sure enough they worked but not completely. with just the tranny mount and driverside mount on the the motor sits sideways. the driverside being more towards the front of the car and the passengerside further back not making it possible to mount the L bracket. The combination the I came up with is
you use:
90-93 Integra driver side mount
90-93 Integra driverside block mount
90-93 Integra L-bracket (same as sir)
90-93 Integra rear mount
90-93 Integra front mount
Sir front crossmember (front crossmember is not the same as US)
90-93 Integra tranny plate mount
fabricate mount from the tranny plate to mount to the body
*frame mount on passengerside is 2 3/4" ID
*tranny plate to center of passengerside frame mount hole closest to front of car is 2"
*tranny plate to center of passengerside frame mount hole closest to firewall is 2 1/2"
Some may find this useful others may not but i think it should be out there
Thanks for everyone help,
Jason

I'll post pics soon
